To Install a Solaris Flash Archive With a Profile (Command-Line Interface)This procedure provides the steps to install a Solaris Flash archive or differential archive by using a profile.
If you added locales to the profile, make sure that you have created a boot environment with additional disk space.
Log in as superuser.
Create a profile.

Example 36-8 Install a Solaris Flash archive on a Boot Environment With a Profile (Command-Line Interface)
In this example, a profile provides the location of the archive to be installed.
# profile keywords profile values # ---------------- ------------------- install_type flash_install archive_location nfs installserver:/export/solaris/flasharchive/solarisarchive |
After creating the profile, you can run the luupgrade command and install the archive. The -j option is used to access the profile.
# luupgrade -f -n second_disk \ -s /net/installmachine/export/solarisX/OS_image \ -j /var/tmp/profile |
The boot environment is then ready to be activated. To create a profile, see To Create a Profile to be Used by Solaris Live Upgrade.
